Delicious Chicken Marinade
Soy sauce, lemon juice and brown sugar handle the salt-acid-sweet triangle, while a touch of clove — an ingredient most marinades never consider — adds warmth beneath the garlic and thyme. Whisk, pour over the chicken breasts, and let it work. Forty minutes start to finish for four servings, with the marinade doing most of the labor.
